I expect the stock to dip and stagger around the $6.00 mark. It's great Obama has been elected. However, in this recession folks are more concerned about paying their bills, feeding their families and keeping lights on. There is so much more potential in companies like: (KFT, MO and even ESLR)! Good Luck.

The stock has been on a tear since Obama got elected, effectively tripling. I bought it in my real account at $5.85 a couple of weeks ago. This is just a wager that guns have a future. This stock got really cheap and still sports a modest P/S and PEG. The ex-CEO has unloaded some stock recently and that gives me pause. Still sales were up 25% in the third quarter and sales as whole in the industry are up since the election.

I just think they have a shot to sell to govt as govt today buy Colt and Savage but almost nothing from SWHC. New president - no matter which one - would lead to a better or at least a tighter grip on procurement for DoD. I was wong before and SWHC went down but I believe they can make it higher from this level. They downsized their hunting gun division - not the DoD stuff.

They have many new products and have entered the tactical rifle market and hunting segment.
Law enforcement and the military are major customers thereby offering some cushion against a decline in consumer spending
Beaten down stock
Commodity bull markets are associated with higher crime rates,so the guns will be in great demand.

Guns and gold tell the story on the economy
Filed under: Good news, Barrick Gold (ABX), Newmont Mining (NEM)  When gold miners and gun-toters lag the broader economy, it's usually a good sign that conditions are on the mend. Both sectors outperform when times were tough, but this year, their growth has slowed relative to the market has a whole.
